Asatru and Heathenry SIGThe Asatru and Heathenry SIG is a debate and discussion board for exploring beliefs and practices pertaining to Asatru and other traditions that follow the Northern European gods and goddesses. The primary purpose of this SIG is to create a community for modern Norse, Germanic, and/or Anglo-Saxon polytheistic religions which are strongly informed by academic information on these cultures, but do not exclude or dismiss the importance of personal gnosis.

Cauldron CillThe Cauldron Cill is a Brighidine Flamekeeping group, where members tend Brighid’s flame in rotating shifts. This SIG board is a place for Keepers to share their experiences during shifts, collaborate on projects, and share poetry, artwork and prayers, amongst other things. Visit the Cauldron Cill SIG Website.Note: The Cauldron Cill is not a reconstructionist group.

FlameKeeping SIGThe FlameKeeping SIG is a forum dedicated to discussion of the pantheistic philosophy of working toward the improvement of the Universe. FlameKeepers believe that the Universe is divine and greater than the sum of it’s parts. By cultivating their personal Dark and Bright Flames, FlameKeepers advance themselves and their communities. Discussion centers around enrichment of the philosophy and incorporation into everyday life.

Hazel and Oak: A Celtic Polytheism SIGThe Hazel and Oak SIG is a community of people with a shared desire for a historically informed religious practice based on the religious beliefs, practices and encompassing cultures of the ancient Celts. Our members come from a wide variety of religions and paths; some may be wholly Celtic in focus, and others may not. We have a healthy love and respect for history and research, and welcome unproven spiritual gnosis when it is properly identified. Continental, Insular and pan-Celtic approaches to Celtic spirituality are all welcome here.

Neo-Druidry SIGThe Neo-Druidry SIG is a druidry-oriented board focused on neo-druidry and related subjects, including contemporary druidry organizations, such as Ár nDraíocht Féin (ADF); the Order of Bards, Ovates, and Druids (OBOD); the Henge of Keltria; the British Order of Druids (BOD), the Reformed Druids of North America (RDNA) and other similar organizations. The purpose of this SIG is to foster a community for those who are members of or interested in neo-druid organizations. This SIG is not a reconstructionist-based discussion area.

Reformed Kemeticism SIGThe Reformed Kemeticism SIG is a "reformed recon"-oriented board focused on Kemeticism and related ancient beliefs. The primary purpose of this SIG is to develop a modern Kemetic religion that is strongly informed by academic information on ancient Kemetic beliefs and practices but does not attempt to strictly reconstruct ancient practices. Visit the Reformed Kemeticism SIG Website.

Ta Hiera Hellenic Polytheism SIGThe Ta Hiera Hellenic Polytheist Forum is a polytheistic reconstructionist SIG devoted to facilitating the understanding of ancient Hellenic religion (and related ancient religions) and the worship of the ancient Hellenic deities in the present day in a manner that, while clearly based on academic research into ancient practices, is adapted for modern times and places.
